Boluspor vs İstanbulspor: match statistics
Boluspor displays significantly better form in home matches, boasting a 58% win rate and an impressive +9 goal difference. The hosts average 1.92 goals per game at home, with only 8% of matches failing to score, highlighting an effective offense. İstanbulspor struggles severely on the road – 54% of their away games end without a goal, they concede 1.69 goals on average per match, and maintain a negative goal difference of -7. The disparity in possession (60% vs 50%) and expected goals (xG 1.65 vs 1.24) further favors the home side.
